Dear Cara,

First and foremost, I hope you are doing well. I’m reaching out as I want to invite you to a small celebration at my place. As you know, I just got a promotion at work, and I would like to have you at my celebration.

We have been working together over years, you must have known how much this promotion means to me and how hard I work for it come true. Finally I can become the Manager after all the effort and hard work. Therefore, I decided to throw a small party where my family and colleagues can come celebrate and have fun!

Regarding the time and location, the party is going to be on this Saturday night at 7pm and at my place. In case you forgot, 123 abc street is my address, and street parking is available free of charge from 6pm to 10pm.

Speaking of the dishes, I am planning to make some traditional Vietnamese food, such as sandwiches, soup, and salad. Please let me know if you have any dietary preferences or suggestions so I can adjust the menu accordingly.

It will be my pleasure having you at my promotion party. Hope to see you soon!

Task Response

8
The letter effectively covers all the required points: it explains the promotion and the reason for celebration, provides the date, time, and location, and asks about dietary preferences. The tone is friendly and appropriate for a colleague and friend. There are a few minor lapses in phrasing (e.g., 'over years' should be 'for years', 'for it come true' should be 'to make it come true'), but these do not detract from the overall clarity and task achievement. To improve, ensure grammatical accuracy and consider adding a more natural closing.

Coherence & Cohesion

7
The letter is logically organized with clear paragraphs for each required point. The flow is generally smooth, but some transitions could be more natural (e.g., 'Regarding the time and location' and 'Speaking of the dishes' are a bit abrupt). The opening and closing are appropriate. To improve, use more cohesive devices to link ideas within and between paragraphs, and ensure each paragraph has a clear central topic.

Lexical Resource

7
The vocabulary is adequate and appropriate for the context, with some good phrases like 'First and foremost' and 'It will be my pleasure'. However, there are some awkward or informal expressions (e.g., 'I'm reaching out as I want to invite you', 'you must have known how much this promotion means to me', 'for it come true'). To improve, use more precise and natural collocations, and vary word choice to avoid repetition (e.g., 'celebration' and 'party' are used repeatedly).

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

6
The letter contains a mix of simple and complex structures, but there are several grammatical errors and awkward phrasings that affect clarity. Examples: 'over years' should be 'for years', 'how hard I work for it come true' is incorrect, 'the party is going to be on this Saturday night' should be 'this Saturday night' or 'on Saturday night', and '123 abc street' should be '123 ABC Street'. Punctuation is mostly correct, but some sentences are run-ons. To improve, proofread carefully and practice using a wider range of sentence structures with accurate grammar.
